Town Meeting, a Gilmore Girls Rewatch Podcast

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. It's time for the bits! Jess' audio still hasn't recovered from its Oops! All Echoes accident last week, but it's on the mend! In this episode:  Sandra hits the highlights of the many name drops, Jess shares a Stuart Fact and thinks Rory looks chic, and Emily has some recommended reading for anyone who wants to get a leg up on their work frenemy or maybe jus...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. It's Town Meeting: Oops! All Echoes edition. (Cohost) Jess joins us from her new recording setup inside an empty bathtub inside a metal coffee can filled with cotton balls. What we're saying is that her audio is not great, and we apologize for a less than stellar listening experience.  But there's more to this episode than one bad vocal track! Including: a s...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess.  It's time for the bits! Jess curses Emily. As in, host Jess curses host Emily, not Jess Mariano cursing Emily Gilmore. Everyone should absolutely drop what they are doing and go watch Moulin Rouge if you haven't seen it (starring Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor), there are some coats to die for (you know which ones), and a bit of Town Meeting Pod Gossip at...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. Emily is demanding an appearance by Lorelai at Thanksgiving dinner which gives the girls 4, yes you read right FOUR THANKSGIVING DINNERS to go to, and how did 4 separate Thanksgivings get started? We have multiple questions this episode, do "Cat Kirk" and "Human Kirk" count as distinct nicknames, is Rory polyamorous, where is Rune, does Cat Kirk have thumbs? Jess...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. We're back with the bits! Strap in because Sandra's got a lot of doom and gloom for us in this week's references. Emily digs into a beautiful song from a band with a rough financial history, and Jess is underwhelmed by the majority of the episode's costuming choices (ah, the early 2000s where your shirt could be rhinestoned and tokenizing at the same time!). Join...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. The games have begun (or is it the beginning of the end?), and we have a lot of thoughts! But those thoughts are coming from very tired hosts, so bear with us! Join us for this episode as we discuss Soft Boyfriend Jess (Mariano), the walnut salad fiasco, YALE, Kool-Aid man Luke, and get your daily Fish Facts from Jess (cohost). Also in this episode:  #1 pare...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. We're still tap-tap-tapping at the Dance Marathon, but this time we're talking background details, such as: the title of the episode (which comes from an... interesting movie), the kinds of books Jess Mariano likes to read at 5am (is Jess... pretentious ?), and of course, the fashion that took this episode to another level (except for one... disappointing charact...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. It's the Dance Marathon episode!! Put your hair in some victory rolls, wear your highest and most vintage heels, and throw on your best military-esque dress, or you know, don't. That's okay, too! In this episode, Sandra calls a love interest "beige", Emily gets lost in a time black hole, and Jess loves "magician" Taylor. And oh, yeah - there's a break-up! Bye, by...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. Take the Deviled Eggs Part 2! We have all the references, books, and fashion you can handle for for this episode. We have a reference that's a weirdly dark...joke? Beloved childhood books, and is Rory wearing a jean vest? Sandra is deeply hurt by some audio left on the cutting room floor from our episode with John Cabrera (aka Brian), and Jess has a fun life anno...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. Our first official split episode with our new schedule, we have the episode discussion for Take the Deviled Eggs! Stars Hollow is rocked by so much scandal, Jess has a new car, Taylor is getting special presents from birds, and the town loner wants to protest....something. Join us while we discuss Shane's motive for leaving her bra in the back seat, is Sherry ins...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. Ch-ch-ch-changes...for the podcast, but not so much for the Gilmore Girls. No, not much happens in this episode that carries over, except for the Jess Mariano of it all, of course. Join us as we discuss Sandra being a pizza snob, Jess being okay with a bad date if it means Bowie, and Emily announcing something incredibly exciting!!  And oh, those ch-ch-ch-ch...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. The wait is over! Here's our big surprise... we were lucky enough to record this episode with the one, the only: John Cabrera (aka Brian Fuller)! We had a BLAST discussing this episode with John. Join us as we discuss John's/Brian's first episode, hear about John's experience of being cast, and learn the surprising role he wanted more than Brian! We chat about th...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. We're so sorry that we don't have a new episode this week, but we promise that what's coming is worth the wait! We've got a very BIG very EXCITING very SURPRISING episode in the works that's just going to take us a bit longer to edit than planned. We'll see you next week!   Email us at TownMeetingPod@gmail.com to be featured in future episodes! Special thank...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. Buckle up, buttercup, you will never guess who this weeks towns person of the week is! The Harvard application has arrived and it is time to apply to Harvard! We somehow have a true crime pod within a pod, turns out we're all old because we watched The Monkees and The Brady Bunch, everyone should watch the Brady Bunch Variety Hour, and we discuss the beginning of...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. "Shannnnnnnnne, come back!" In today's episode, we fight through the boring (sorry not sorry Francie!) to get to the...Christopher! It turns out these actors sure can act! Also discussed: the Sherrie/Shane parallel, cursed movie adaptations, and of course, Fodderwink (you know, the kid from the Yearling?). Join us this week as we continue to absolutely despise Ch...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. Bucket hats, bears, blondes... this season opener has it all! Tune in as we jump headfirst into season 3 and find out why everyone looks SO good this episode, chat about two Gilmore adjacent Sisterhoods, and enjoy a mini true crime pod within a pod from Sandra! Can we all just be #TeamJamie already?  *CW: This episode includes non-detailed discussion of murd...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. In today's episode, we talk about our fave and least fave season 2 episodes, rank the Gilmore boys thus far, and pick our Townsperson of the Season! Also, Emily speaks like she's being fast-forwarded on a tape recorder, Sandra tells us all about the Bracebridge Dinner menu, and Jess has a forfeit to do (hint - it involves singing!). Come join us for our season 2...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. Oy with the poodles already! It's the season finale! It is time for Sookie's wedding, and she is choosing possibly the most depressing song to walk down the aisle to. We get the famous (or infamous?) quote that we have a hot take on, agree or disagree? Dean shows up and ends up being a pretty good boyfriend this episode. I guess it's true, now that Jess is gone t...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. So what happens when the Town Meeting girls get contacted* by two (2!) Gilmore Girls actors in one week? Well, they freak out of course.  Join us next Wednesday (06/15/22) at 8pm pacific (or 11pm eastern) on the Clubhouse app, over at the Remarkist club to watch "Dear Emily and Richard" live with us!! We will be chatting about the episode and hanging out, so...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. Lorelai is graduating from business school and Rory decides to celebrate with CRIME (specifically truancy). In this episode: learn all about Washington SQUARE Park (even though we call it Washington State Park about a dozen times, west coast best coast! - xo Jess), continue our study of Jess Mariano's eclectic literature preferences, and even learn a surprising c...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. Luke's gone fishing, folks, but that's okay because Lorelai can now terrorize The Hungry Diner people instead. It turns out there were two Karens in this episode, and only one of them is actually named that. Join us this week as we discuss busybodies (Babbette was in a cult?), weaponized incompetence (Richard...open a manuel, for the love of god), and of course,...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. It's time for the most anticipated conversation of Season 2! We talk about..."A Film By Kirk." Oh, also, there was a car accident or something. Sandra introduces a new but hopefully not used to much segment, we have a slightly different approach to Towns Person of the Week, we say goodbye to one character (for all of 2 minutes), and another starts to weasel his w...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. In part one of this dramatic-but-sort-of-disjointed episode, we talk about movies (Sandra talks about eleven!!! different movies, all referenced in the span of two minutes), academics (Town Meeting's official statement: at the very least, get your high school diploma, and for pete's sake, stop trash talking trade schools!), tutoring smart boys (and emotionally ch...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess.  Bet you didn't expect 2 taxidermy references in your Gilmore Girls podcast!

Tune in to hear our thoughts on The 14 Phone Calls, tricked out first aid kits, Michel's fabulous mother, and more! Listen til the end for some of our current favorite TV show recom...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. Emily just might be the fastest talker in the midwest with the summary this week. Lorelai goes full diner girl persona, we might have the best B plot ever with the battle of the vegetables between Taylor and the 2nd Town Troubador, and Emily Gilmore continues to be the original Luke and Lorelai shipper. Join us this week as we discuss the seriousness of sett...
